They are soft bodied, unsegmented, dorsoventrally flattened worms having a bilateral symmetry, with organ grade of organization. Flatworms are acoelomate and triploblastic. The majority of these are parasitic. The free living forms are generally aquatic, either marine or fresh water. Digestive system is either absent or incomplete with a single opening- the mouth, anus is absent. Circulatory, respiratory and skeletal system are absent. Excretion and osmoregulation is brought about by protonephridia or flame cells. Ammonia is the chief excretory waste product. Nervous system is of the primitive type having a pair of cerebral ganglia and longitudinal nerves connected by transverse commissures. Sense organs are poorly developed, present only in the free living forms. Basically hermaphrodite with a complex reproductive system. Development is either direct or indirect with one or more larval stages. Flatworms have a remarkable power of regeneration. The phylum includes about 13,000 species. Here Dugesia and Fasciola hepatica will be described as the type study to understand the phylum. Some of the medically important parasitic helminthes will also be discussed. Evolution of parasitism and parasitic adaptations is of utmost importance for the endoparasitic platyhelminthes and will also be discussed here.

  • Hymenolepis Nana Is a Ubiquitous Parasite, Found Throughout Many Developing and Developed Countries
    Characterisation of Community-Derived Hymenolepis Infections in Australia Marion G. Macnish BSc. (Medical Science) Hons Division of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences Murdoch University Western Australia This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2001 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main work which has not been submitted for a degree at any other educational institution. ………………………………………………. (Marion G. Macnish) Characterisation of Community-Derived Hymenolepis Infections in Australia ii Abstract Hymenolepis nana is a ubiquitous parasite, found throughout many developing and developed countries. Globally, the prevalence of H. nana is alarmingly high, with estimates of up to 75 million people infected. In Australia, the rates of infection have increased substantially in the last decade, from less than 20% in the early 1990’s to 55 - 60% in these same communities today. Our knowledge of the epidemiology of infection of H. nana is hampered by the confusion surrounding the host specificity and taxonomy of this parasite. The suggestion of the existence of two separate species, Hymenolepis nana von Siebold 1852 and Hymenolepis fraterna Stiles 1906, was first proposed at the beginning of the 20th century. Despite ongoing discussions in the subsequent years it remained unclear, some 90 years later, whether there were two distinct species, that are highly host specific, or whether they were simply the same species present in both rodent and human hosts. The ongoing controversy surrounding the taxonomy of H. nana has not yet been resolved and remains a point of difference between the taxonomic and medical literature.

We identified six helminth endoparasite taxa, being Phylum Acantocephala and Family Trichuridae the most prevalent. The high prevalence of the Family Ancylostomatidae indicates a possible transmission via domestic dogs, which are abundant in the study area. Nevertheless, our results indicate that the endoparasite species found are not different from those observed in protected or least disturbed areas, suggesting a high resilience of maned wolf and their parasites to human impacts, or a common scenario of disease transmission from domestic dogs to wild canid whether in protected or unprotected areas of southeastern Brazil.
